I arrived very late, but I was greeted and felt comfortable. I was obviously tired and the front desk attendant asked me if I needed anything. She informed me where to park and the time breakfast was ready. It was perfect because I needed to leave at very early. The breakfast area was very nice and there was plenty of room to seat. It was a nice stay.

The breakfast was marginally OK. Waffles with no butter or margarine. No fresh fruit. No bread, toast or muffins. No yogurt. No hot cereal and only sugar coated dry cereals. The hot drink options were, however, very good. The room was adequate, however the space was run down with lights that didn’t work or flickered, an outlet that didn’t work and paint peeling in the bathroom. Also the bathroom door was damaged, mended with tape and didn’t close correctly or lock.

Friendly service but not the cleanest place

It was a one night stay and nothing really special. A hand towel had something brown on it and there was long hair in the bed. The lady at the front desk was really nice. The breakfast was waffle machine and I think Tang or watery OJ. The price was cheap

Stayed here last minute unfortunately. Room was disgusting, floors and walls were filthy I’m pretty sure there was semen on the wall that hadn’t been cleaned spider webs and dead bugs, smelled musty, curtains were falling off the window, bathroom light didn’t work. Shower head was broken and tub was slow to drain. The towels and the bed had hair on them. You only get 2 pillows and they’re dirty. Bed makes all kinds of noise. Place is run down,0/10 do not recommend staying here.
